During a Monster Hunter Tri stream event yesterday, community manager Brett Elston teased incoming game-related news for the platform. Elston didn’t offer much in the way of hints, but did note that it may “not be too much of a surprise if you’ve been paying attention to the Internet”.

“… we should have more Wii U news in general very soon… for games. I’ll just tease that out there. Might not be too much of a surprise if you’ve been paying attention to the Internet, but probably very soon you’ll hear something else about a game for said platform.”

I wonder how reactionary this ND is. Was this something that was planned for January all along, or did they bump it up from February or March due to significant decreased sales to help generate additional buzz and excitement?

3DS is fine for the rest of the year with MH4/Pokemon alone. Put everyone and everything onto the Wii U Nintendo, this is not the Wii, there's no Wii Sports and there's no third party support that matters right now. This is the time to give the people what they've always wanted from a Nintendo console: New core games from Nintendo. Build the console so that when PS4/Durango rolls around, third parties won't be able to ignore the lead the Wii U fanbase has on next-gen consoles, the console is modern enough for shared multiplatform releases.
